Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

You wanna hear one of the more interesting insights into the nature of reality for one of our three predominant worldviews?

…but! Before we do that, lets go old school and make some provocative claims and

When you learn the principles of the Wakefield Doctrine you will be in a position to know more about the other person than they know about themselves

Everyone works as hard at getting through the day as everyone else

Each and every person you encounter today is living the perfect life

…that was fun, right?

(Only problem would be from whatever defines the readership demographic today. One of the three, they be, ‘Yeah, what else is new?’, the other two: (laughing) “Alright!” (silence) “I don’t want to burst your bubble, but you’ve over-looked one thing…“)

Better yet, lets go way old school and bulletpoint them person-al-ity types:

1. clarks(the Outsider) distinguishing expression of relationship to reality: Upon awakening in the morning, (or dragging oneself back from reveries), the thought often is heard, “Well, no point holding off any longer, time to get back out there and deal with life.”
2. scotts(the Predator) distinguishing social strategy: If it moves chase it. If it holds it’s ground, challenge it. It it chases you, run. All in the name of the joy of living.
3. rogers(the Herd Member) distinguishing ambition: To discover within, (and practice without), the Right Way. Share this insight/gift/quality with all who are encountered, ignore any who do not acknowledge the benefit of being taught it.

so, you’re asking/laughing/sneering, ‘When you gonna lay ‘one of them more interesting insights’ on us?!

Here ya go:

clarks are afraid of nothing except the world around them and the people who make it up.

Thanks for coming by!

(Extra Points for any Reader what starts to mutter, “Wait just a minute! What about the Everything Rule?”)

(Double extra points for anyone thinking, “The title said ‘Reprint Monday’ and the last time I checked, today is Monday! I want my money back!”)

ok! ok! on with the Reprint

Hey! We stumbled across this short, little post from December 2013. We’re guessing, though the thing was written in December, it was an attempt at a tribute…homage… montage of the famous ‘I have a dream’ speech by Martin Luther King.

…and, as the cat would have it, today is Martin Luther King Day!

damn, you can’t make this stuff up.

(The absence of what would have followed this reference to the reprint is proof of efficacy of this here Doctrine here. At least in terms of clarks.)

(from December 2013)

hey!! dig this

the Wakefield Doctrine Manifesto

(i have a dream): that there is a place, a life where clarks are free to be assholes and not regret a single negative response from those around us, to live in a world where we are free to be boastful and self-promoting without fear of our heads swelling up or our face falling; a life in which we can act as we know we must without having to deal with a fear that a total stranger (who we will never, in fact, actually meet or talk to) might disapprove, (i have a dream) of forcing scotts to the ground because we think it’s funny and ignoring rogers in front of the herd because we can’t be bothered with their bullshit (i have a dream) of a personal reality where clarks can touch others in mind and spirit without needing to hide behind parenthesiseses or humor or obscuring words or phrases or stuff
(i have a dream) of a personal reality where we can live as a person who experiences the world of the Outsider, the reality of the Predator and the life of the Herd member in balance and without reservation
